Not sure if this was an accident, serious issue, or a joke.  Did you accidentally drop it in a pool?  

 

However while shooting stock and personal work in the Outer Banks at the end of March my back pack FULL of spare camera, and ALL my lenses, batteries and memory cards was "washed/carried away" by an errant wave that was retreating back into the ocean while I was shooting and not paying attention.  Luckily, my daughter who was shooting with me snagged it with her tripod as it was going by her!!!  If not, the bag would have been totally swamped by the new waves coming on shore in the early morning dawn.  What a wet, and  sand covered mess though...  Nothing as nasty as wet sticky sand.

 

Thank goodness for the cheap Amazon bag (copy of a LowePro model), and the fact I had closed all the zippers on the bag. The only item that got a bit wet was the Zeiss 12mm 2.8 as the wave smacked that particular side of the bag where the lens was sitting.  All is well though...

So I've had enough of Fuji and decided to toss all my gear in a pool... YouTube video coming soon. I will post the link when the video is complete!

First you want to throw your gear from the roof, then smash it against the wall, and now drown it?

 

It looks to me like you are seeking attention in an unhealthy way. I am afraid we cannot help you.

 

Drown your gear, if you like, but above all, find someone who can really help you. I wish you all the best!!

    • Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii. 
    • Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

    • This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
